I think this is a case of style compromises performance personally i would go with the one that 13beef has despite the fact of knowing that the other is really better

hey anything is better than nothing...if you didn't have a vented head lamp lid you wouldn't care about air flow...even if it only flowed at like 1 CFM it'd still be better than 0...

Well, my vent does work and I think the raised edge at the back is beneficial. To gain any real airflow some sheet metal would need to be removed (not structural) from behind the cover. I looked at putting an actual NACA duct in but couldn't find one short and shallow enough.

The blue air filter on top of my motor well it is off now but can I put anything on it so I can forse air into my motor. I am thinking of geting a hood scoop or making one so air can be forced into my motor.

cold air is good, forced air is not... unless its forced induction

forced air only does when the motor also gets more fuel
I sincerely think you should learn a lot of this stuff before you go any further with your project. I spent a year reading up and learning before I even bought an RX-7.

i don't think that there's enough CF stuff ... so now we can actually go to pimp my ride and if we tell them "yo I know this dude out in kangoroo land thats got mad fibers" lol ... jk the more weight reduction the better, and who out there said the that the cheapest way to go faster is weight reduction

Headlight cover
I actually have a fiberglass one already installed. I bought it about 2 years ago from fibremaz. It definitely looks a lot sexier in cf. Not to mention that I want cf everything!!! If I could, I would go for the whole front clip in cf 
Cant wait for the website to see all the cf goodies in one spot
Any thoughts on interior parts?
